《Deity's Fragments [Paused]》Chapter 24 - Dwarf Planet
Advertisement
In the forest, Zack was sitting with his back to a tree while checking what the bracelet might contain.
'42 basic cricket cores, 300 Star coins, underwear' He pulled out the underwear and, using his thunder power, turned them to shreds. That I didn't need at all, he also had the bodies of 5 mid-level bees that he killed by helping Chen Mei.
'What should I do now?'
He didn't have much choice, he wanted to get stronger and fight, but for some reason, he felt empty; even though he had a good adventure, still something was missing, but he didn't know what.
'I must look for how to get back to human civilization. I can't go back to school without the bracelet because they might do an investigation, plus I need to get to the second dimension so I can get rid of the need to belong to the military school. I will have to avoid anything to do with school and military.'
With this in mind, he put on his mask and shot out of the forest like lightning. He could control his electrical powers much better, so he managed to leave the trees behind and reach the desert quickly.
With his physical abilities and electrical impulses, he moved at about 115 km/h. Soon he was able to see the shelter and a group of people outside.
The people managed to see the person coming towards them, so they prepared to attack, but before they could do anything, he had already passed them and entered the shelter.
"Is that the red devil?" said an astonished lizard man.
"I... I think so, but was it that strong?"
A person wanted by two famous groups and hunted by himself, the red devil, what is this person's power, and what race does he belong to?
Zack arrived at the dwarves' workshop and knocked.
*Knock Knock
Not soon after, the dwarf girl came out and, seeing Zack, asked Zack for entrance.
Zack went in and pulled out the cricket bodies and crystals.
"44 basic level cores and 5 mid-level bodies... The cores make a total of 2,200, and the bodies I'll buy from you for 1,000 each. what do you say?"

Zack was surprised and said. "Why are you buying the bodies more expensive this time?"
The dwarf looked at him, and taking a puff on a cigar; he had said, "The wings of the bees can be used to make some lighter swords or even lighter equipment."
Zack didn't decide to ask and accepted the money. This time he earned a total of 7,200 Star Coin. If we put it together with what he had previously, we got a total of 9,300 Star Coin.
He was about to leave the store but remembered he wanted to find a way back.
"Hey, old man, do you know any place where they rent a teleporter?"
The older man wanted to ask why he didn't use the same one that this one had entered the hunting area by, but he didn't; many sometimes have problems in the places they use to get there, so they use another alternative to get back.
"I think if you go to the next shelter, you can find a teleporter."
"Grandfather, why don't you let him use ours?" Said the girl.
The old dwarf looked at her with threatening eyes. Noticing this, Zack burst out laughing and said. "Come on, old man, let me use the teleporter, the girl says; I promise to pay to use it."
"2000 Star Coin, no less," He said with a smile.
This price was astronomical, Zack wanted to claim, but he didn't. Although he could use a portal for 500 coins, he had nowhere to go, plus there is no guaranty whether or not he would find a teleporter in the other place.
"Fine, fine, I'll pay you whatever you say" He sighed.
The older man was surprised; he thought he would complain and leave but instead said he would take it.
"Fine, Follow me." Said and led him to a room where there was a round platform with six blue crystals embedded in it and several magic runes.
Pulling the stones out of dimensional space, Zack paid the older man.
"By the way, old man, what's your name? It's awkward calling you geezer now and then" He smiled.

A vein marked itself on the dwarf's forehead, and without hesitation, he pushed him into the teleporter.
"My name is Will. Remember that."
Zack disappeared into the teleporter and appeared in a station where many dwarven people were looking at him strangely.
Some guards arrived and pointed their guns at Zack. "Identification and reason for arrival."
Surprised at what was going on, he just said, "I don't have ID; I'm coming from the hunting area, crossing over to find a way to get to land."
One of the guards looked at another, and the other replied. "He is telling the truth."
"Are you a resident of the earth?"
Many races liked to be covert, so it was normal if someone didn't want to show an ID, it would make the process more tedious.
"That's a question I can't answer," he replied.
The guard scratched the back of his neck a little, then reached out and helped him up off the floor. "Excuse the informalities; they are planet protocols. To get back to earth, you will need to take a cruiser. Follow the hallway and then turn right. There you can buy a ticket to return."
Zack just nodded. He retrieved his ID and went to buy the ticket to return.
****
He was waiting in a large hall where many dwarves and some other races. Suddenly heard a noise.
"Help!"
Everyone looked in the direction from where the noise was coming from and could notice a woman in uniform running and some monsters behind.
Many started running when this happened. Even though people went hunting in the area, there were also dimensional spaces called dungeons where dimensional monsters resided and could escape and attack people.
Zack kept his distance because he didn't know what level the beasts were. Even beasts from the fifth dimension could appear.
Wanting to test the beasts' strength, he sent out a large bolt of lightning that struck the beast. This one was mouse-like, and when it felt the lightning, it flinched, but it didn't have much effect.
'Level 2 at least basic class,' he thought.
They were formidable beasts, but he could hold them off for a while before help arrived. He charged two electric snake bombs and threw them towards the center of the group of rats.
The rats squealed in pain and froze for a second. He would not let this opportunity pass him by, so he summoned his bow from his dimensional space and began firing volleys of arrows.
'At times like this, I could use a fire style power where I could incinerate all the rats at once,' he thought.
The rats were wounded, but he was running out of energy as he attacked. The rats snapped out of their daze and started charging towards Zack.
Putting away his bow and drawing his two swords, he lunged backward as he used the benches and structures to slow the rats and attack.
As he did this, he was distracted for a moment, dodging, which gave one of the rats a chance to bite him in the foot, which caused him to fall on his buttocks.
"Agh," he cried out. The pain was immense; he felt as if his foot had almost been crushed.
Using a large amount of energy in his right foot, which was the only one that was okay, he gave an arcing backward thrust falling rolling a little away from the rats.
He had no energy left even to heal himself. Nor did he have enough points to add to the energy and recover it. These points could only increase the amount of energy that his body could contain; he needed at least 10 points to recover it all.
He wished he had eaten the bee nuclei before coming here.
A group of rats watched him and, without warning, jumped towards him, but before they arrived, a large amount of magic and electromagnetic bullets attacked them.
"Reinforcements arrived."

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
